Setup
Light Show setup
The iPort includes a Light Show feature, which is only required for controlling
and synchronising coloured (RGB) LEDs. By default this feature is disabled.
To use the Light Show feature you must first create an Area (zone) to be
controlled. This is just a lighting group that includes all the RGB lights you
wish to be controlled by the Light Show. It may be one lighting circuit or a
whole group.
To include an RGB lighting controller in an Area (zone), switch it on using
the ‘Memory Button’ inside the RGB controller then press an Area (zone)
‘ON’ key using the App (or other remote) to store it, e.g. Area 9. The RGB
controller will beep to acknowledged its been stored. Please see the lighting
controller’s instructions for more information about storing Areas (zones).
Lastly, enable the Light Show feature by telling the iPort the Area
(zone) your RGB lights are in, e.g. Area 9. Do this by holding the MSG
button in for 5 seconds, until the indicator lights solidly, then pressing
the MSG button the number of times required to represent the Area
e.g. 9 presses = Area 9. Now, when the app turns on/off Area 9, the Light
Show will also start/stop (the master Garden On/Off will also control it).
When you’ve finished (no button presses for 3 seconds), the iPort will flash
the value back . Count the flashes to check it matches the value you set.
Notes:
When Light Show = 0 (no presses), it is controlled only by the master Garden On/Off zone.
When Light Show = 30 (30 presses) the Light Show feature is disabled.
